LET'S NOT FEED THE FIRE
Hovel Devises
Ping pong: balls and marbles are helping' to keep
the air clean.
One Midwest .steelmaker floats 600,000 ping pong
balk <m the surface of acids in storage tanks while
they await use in the production process.
According to the company's engineers, the celluloid,
spheres help trap noxious fumes which otherwise
might escape.
Another steel firm directs cleansed waste gas
from steelmaking operations through chambers packed with two million marbles. Water flowing through
the marbles cools the gas before it's released into the
atmosphere. j.
Y Use of such unlikely items as table tennis and
'aggies in the war against pollution demonstrates the
ingenuity and effort extended by the nation's steel
industry in its battle to protect and preserve our air

The Minimum Wage
Considerable pressure is being exerted on Congress to increase the minimum wage right now to $2
an hour, rather than wait until 1S-73 as proposed i#
a house bill.
The proponents contend that the increase would
give the economy a lift by creating additional spending power. This is fallacious reasoning.
OVUinimum-wage jobs are given to those who lack
the experience or know-how to step into higher wage
brackets. They are the first step in the ladder.
By removing this bottom rung, not only will
many of these jobs be eliminated, but all wages will
be pushed up so that inflationary price increases
soon would blunt any benefits from the increase.
When you add these factors to the increased
difficulty that employers wiH have with lower-wage
competitors overseas, it seems likely that a higher
minimum wage will do more harm than good to those
it is intended to benefit.
How Much For Defense?
; The debate over the new defense budget is in
-full swing. Thus far the discussion has taken some
interesting twists.
The administration, through Defense Secretary
Melvin Laird, has moved away from consideration of
Vietnam as being of primary importance in the defense budget. Instead it is focusing on the long-range
security needs of the United States. Referring to the
1970's, Laird;»fras sp^eh of .he "defeiisle Resources'
needed, in order to meet this Soviet threat during this;
period of time."' '
The emphasis, in short, has. moved away from
intense preoccupation with Southeast Asia and the
fighting in Vietnam, and toward more general concerns. The administration warns that, in order to
meet the Soviet threat, defense costs must increase—
this despite the steady withdrawal of troops from
Vietnam, and regardless of what has been said in
the past about the expectation that reduced involvement in Vietnam would bring reduced defense expenditures.
Sen. Wilriam Proxmire of Wisconsin is spearheading quite a different point of view. He is arguing for a leaner and stronger—a "far less costly,
more efficient"—military force. Apparently he does
hot perceive the Soviet threat to be as great as Laird
insists it is, for he is asking a cut of six to eight
billion dollars in the proposed 76-billion-dollar 1972,
defense budget.
The plain fact is that the administration can no
longer rely on the Vietnam arguments to bolster demands for more defense money. Laird has already reverted to earlier Cold War arguments concerning the
.Soviet threat. He may find it quite difficult to sustain these arguments, however, for times have
changed and this threat seems by no means as great
or imminent as it once seemed.
Laird is aware of this. In his press conference
warning of the proposed increase in military spending he took up a kind of secondary position, falling
back upon the argument that the American people do
hot want to become a "second rate power.' He declared that "they are unwilling to accept inferiority
in this particular area."
A backward glance helps put such ideas in perspective. It was just such arguments—'about Soviet
and Chinese threats, about America's "losing," about
America being second rate vis a vis North Vietnam, •
about America being "pushed around"—that were
crucial in originally involving our country in the
Vietnamese War. Americans should be skeptical of '
the "Soviet threat" and "inferiority" arguments. We
must not let such arguments stampede us into spending far more than is reasonably required to assure
the nalSpn's security. •■
